Anyone added a receiver hitch to a Glacier Peak?

Just curious. We were at Ketelsen's in Denver checking on our warranty work and looked at a Glacier Peak. So for double towing has anyone added a boat hitch to a Glacier Peak? I know there are different opinions on safety but that's not the discussion I am looking for. I suspect ORV and Nothwoods frames are as high in quality as Carriage and Excel and some of their models came with receivers that could tow a fishing boat.

We have a 2015 Creek Side and had a receiver added to the back of it. Just took it on a 400 mile round trip and it performed perfectly.

Check your owners manual. On my Jayco, there is a warning not to add a hitch to the frame, It would void the warranty on it. Other than that, if it allows it, I see no problems.

I just bought a 2015 RDS and came with a hitch receiver installed for a jet ski, wireless rear camera, 4 pin electric, works great. I use in now for a bike trailer. It interferes slightly with the sliding tray lock pin. In states that it's legal to tow the second. I have no fear of the frame, very well made.

our new Glacier Peak 26 RLS has a hitch too but a warning for 250lb tongue weight. Ours didn't have the tray on it. We pick it up on tuesday and I'm sure a little fabrication work would make any of them tow worthy where legal and you could easily increase the tongue weight a bit in the process if needed for a boat or quad trailer.
